Clarity

This is my backyard. 
This is also a moment of clarity.

Censorship

Dear Visitor,

Some people think I'm way too cute to have such a foul mouth.  I admit that I curse quite a bit.  I've been known to blow bubbles when I speak, what with all the soap in my mouth.  Earlier today I edited one of my posts and tweets and tried to remove the profanity.  It was an epic fail.  I'm really okay with who I am and what I say, so to anyone who thinks I'm way too cute to have such a foul mouth, please suck it.


Best fucking regards,
tcoolman


P.S. Notice the greeting was singular?  Oh, well that's because I don't get many visitors, so why address my imagination.  I'm all about keeping it real. 
P.P.S. "fucking" didn't register in my spellcheck.

The Godfather

I think it's on my profile, but let me state for the record that I'm a Washington, DC native.  No, I didn't briefly live there and claim the city.  I was born and raised in the District of Columbia.  Only true natives like moi can understand the importance of this distinction.  So many people will rep DC (sometimes referred to as Chocolate City), but they know they shouldn't 'cause more often than not, they lived in the suburbs of Maryland or Virginia and think it's a-okay to lump themselves in the DC pool.  I wish they'd stop it!  They should just say "I'm from the *DMV area" and no one would have a problem with it. 

Anyway, like most cities, we have things that are unique to us that I love.  Take for instance, good old **Go-Go music.  It's like a cover band with percussion dominating.  There's nothing like it.  NOTHING.  It's the one type of music that (black) Washingtonians will and can bond over.  Period.  We all have Chuck Brown stories. This man is an icon and old as hell. The day that he dies will shut the city down, much like last year's blizzard.  I'm not joking.  He's all of it.  

What I love most is that there are so many bands, there's music for all generations, and I'm not exaggerating.  My friends' parents have partied to Chuck.  I've partied to Chuck.  Last year, I took my son and nephews to party to Chuck.  He's clean, always has been, and the music is good.  Here's a YouTube vid of one of his more mainstream hits.

Enjoy...




*DMV = DC, MD, and VA
**Go-Go is also a noun and can be used in the following way, "I went to the go-go last night."

No Uterus = Sexiness

Apparently having my uterus removed is an asset in the dating world.  Here I am thinking "Woe is me.  I'm divorced, with two old ass kids with no man."  Well, I'm surprised to find out, I got one up on these chicks out here.  After years of pain, when I was 26, I made the decision to get a hysterectomy.  The surgical procedure was necessary and the results meant that I wouldn't be able to have children.  Sad huh? Not.  Here's what I learned.  I'm the shit.  Boys actually find this attractive about me FOR THE WRONG REASONS!  I was told, "I actually like that you can't have kids.  (insert blank stare emoticon like this O__O )  You don't have a period and I don't have to worry about getting you pregnant."  O__O again.

Should I be flattered in any way?  So far, I haven't been. At the very least, I know my dating stock market value has increased.  Gooooo me, not.

I.S.O.

For fucksake, shits, and giggles, I'm gonna randomly share what I googled, during the day.  It's really funny to see.  Today, here's what I just had to find:

  • GS Boyz - I was looking up these fellas, cuz I've been listening to music all day.  They came up with the stupid club hit Stanky Leg.  Curios, I wondered if they'd had any other hits.  Nope.
  • I'm Doing Me lyrics - Fantasia's song was on and there was a part that I couldn't understand.  Naturally, I pressed pause, googled the lyrics, and then proceeded to sing along, and 
  • Angela Simmons Gimme Dat - Ciara's song came on and I love it.  I remember first hearing it, via a YouTube video that Angela Simmons made lip syncing and dancing to her song.
